“The Legend
of the Sand Dollar – An Inspirational Story of Hope for Easter” was sent to me
by Zonderkidz – a division of Zondervan Publishing – in exchange for my honest
review.
“The Legend
of the Sand Dollar” is a children’s fiction picture book, written by Chris
Auer. The gorgeous illustrations were
done by Richard Cowdrey. I love his
artwork!
This story
is about a little girl, Kerry, who goes to visit her aunt and her cousin, Jack,
before Easter. Jack takes her on his
boat to a little island where she finds a sand dollar. Jack told Kerry the story of Jesus seen in
this little creature’s shell. The holes
being the nails and the Roman spear. The
Easter lily is etched on one side and the poinsettia on the other, symbolizing
Christ’s birth and death. And, inside
are little doves symbolizing peace. When
they get home, Kerry shares the story with her sister. On the last page of the book it tells a
little about the creature, the sand dollar.
I believe I
would recommend “The Legend of the Sand Dollar” to any young readers, and those
who read to them.
